Values represent the mean ± standard deviation of three independent assays. For each enzyme, activity was calculated relative to the assay showing the highest conversion of substrate (i.e. the average of this assay was set to 100 %). The accompanying footnote defines 100 % conversion in pmole min−1 mg−1 protein for each enzyme
a5.9 pmole min−1 mg−1 protein
b61 pmole min−1 mg−1 protein
c0.4 pmole min−1 mg−1 protein
dProducts were N-methylcoclaurine and N,N-dimethylcoclaurine
e2.3 pmole min−1 mg−1 protein
f 0.1 pmole min−1 mg−1 protein
g3.3 pmole min−1 mg−1
